At the moment, the African-American voters should support the democratic party. The reason is that the best candidate for the people is the Democratic nominee. Barack Obama has gotten past one of the best political organizations ever in the Clinton administration. But african americans shouldnt support him because he represents their culture, he also represents white culture. Realize that the man is half white and half black. PEOPLE as a whole should support Barack because he represents the people of the United States better, as a whole. The tag stuck to the Obama name as an elitist is not of even minor relevance either. This can be said because what is more Elitist than giving Tax Cuts to the rich, and not acting on the principles upon which our government was made.

The Republican party has proven themselves unworthy of everyone's vote. You may question this, but when it comes down to it, the Republican party has put our country in a nose dive situation where change is imminent to the survival of our economy. The current Republican president has taken the trust of the people and used it to do as they wish. The unjustifiable war in Iraq is a perfect example. We have seen that the Republican party has tried to justify this war by using invalid information which can trick people. It was easy for the Bush regime to gain re-election because half the people in America think Iraq was who attacked us on 9/11. News Flash: the Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban of Afghanistan were responsible for the 9/11 attacks. George Bush's reign can be compared to that of Juan Peron in Argentina. Both caused economic problems that will haunt their countries. But atleast Peron did have a few good years.

John McCain is a great war hero, but that doesnt qualify you for the presidency. His voting record in congress shows that he indeed does support the ideas George Bush has had for our country. Maybe people will think "Well, the republicans started the war, lets let them finish it, we might be worse off pulling out". That logic was useful to the republican party in 2004. You can almost call George Bush's War in Iraq, gun-boat diplomacy.

Sorry for ranting but the thought that people voted for Bush once agitates me. Obama fulfills the needs for a unifying figure. His foreign policy is ridiculed, but it is the most sane of the policies, and most humane of the policies. He wants to meet with Leaders of Opposing countries. This is a horrible idea, even though it is the only one which brings peace. Instead we should back opposing countries into a corner like we have in Iraq. The Iraqi people want us there as much as we want other countries intervening in the U.S. I know that if another country invaded our country, which i love the principles of and the promise of, I would fight back. I guess the invading country would call me a terrorist, or insurgent.

IF you take nothing else away from this article just remember this one thing. Every human being on earth is a person. We are all people. Just think about you and the starving people in Africa as the same. We all have emotions and show same reactions to stimulus for the most part. WE are all the same. We all have the same type of body systems and desires. We all want a better life. The difference between us all is beliefs. We all have our own opinions. We all stand up for what we believe in. It is insulting to anyone when they are criticized and new ideals are forced upon them. The democratic party represents the whole of the United States best. Obama does not support me, or you, he supports us. What makes war, although we breath the same air, share fears, and love our respective cultures, difference is only through belief.
